The story
The Women's Rights Pioneers Monument is a sculpture by Meredith Bergmann. It was installed in Central Park, Manhattan, New York City, on August 26, 2020, coinciding with Women's Equality Day. The sculpture is located at the northwest corner of Literary Walk along the Central Park Mall. It commemorates and depicts Sojourner Truth (c. 1797–1883), Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906), and Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902), pioneers in the suffrage movement who advocated women's right to vote and who were pioneers of the larger movement for women's rights. It is the first sculpture in Central Park to depict historical women and was created to "break the bronze ceiling". Previously, the only other female figures depicted in the park were Alice from Alice in Wonderland and Juliet from Romeo and Juliet. Original plans for the memorial included only Stanton and Anthony, but the National Congress of Black Women (NCBW) raised objections to this monument. The President at the time, C. Delores Tucker, expressed that the formation of this monument is non-inclusive towards the historical legacy of Black women activists continues the practice of historical whitewashing.
